Beer Stein Cake - 516F
This cake was a red velvet cake using the smallest spring form pans by Wilton, and then carved some to form it’s shape. Every two layers I placed a divider so that I could place cut skewers in between as supports, then ran a full skewer all the way through all layers and cardboard circles to keep it stable. I made the lid and handle out of gum paste and then painted it with silver sheen food coloring. The plate, pickle, pretzels, brat, and German bread were all made from gum paste and then chalked with petal dust the colors. The mustard was royal icing, along with the tree and trunk on the stein. The bottom cake was covered in fondant to look like a checkered table cloth. The foam on the cake was quite by accident. I had used a cooked flour icing and it kept sliding down the sides. Everyone thought I had done it on purpose. It ended up just adding to the whole composition!

Just saw your post Linda regarding corn starch instead of flour in the recipe. It isn't nearly as easy with corn starch. First time I used it, no problem. Every time after that I had failure, after failure. For gluten free I just stick to crisco/shortening & icing sugar.

Thank you! Goreti, you of all people will appreciate this. This was actually made for my husband's birthday cake and I had his leather pants (lader hosen) and suspenders, and argyle knee socks laid out for him to wear that day, along with all of his favorite German music playing and his green felt hat with the brush thing in the brim. I played it to the hilt to honor his German background. I even made several German dishes for the dinner. It turned out to be a very festive day...kind of like an October Fest feeling. Knowing how both you and my husband grew up in a country where you were not born, I just knew you could really appreciate what I was trying to do for him. =O)

I use regular sugar, but I have heard of people using the powdered. I've also heard people using corn starch in place of the flour, which is good to know for gluten free!

Thanks I'm going to try this. My husband talks about a frosting his mom used to make and I think this might be it. Is it confectioners sugar or regular granulated?

I'm sorry, Rima, did I forget the sugar? It's 1 cup. 1 cup milk, 1 cup butter, 1 cup sugar, 3 to 4 tablespoons flour, 1 tsp. vanilla.
